Australian consumer advocate group Choice has discovered evidence of adulteration of Oregano in products on sale in Australia, according to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald. The Choice report can be found at https://www.choice.com.au/oregano. Some products contained as little as 10% oregano. While Choice were careful to point out that this was only a small survey and may not be representative, the issue as been referred to the authorities for follow-up and several supermarkets have withdrawn products from the shelves.
The group was following up a study in the UK in 2015. Links to the UK study and a related member discussion can be found in the FoodAuthenticity news article here
